Abstract
Business intelligence is used to bring answers to problems related to access, availability and utility of information. This paper presents the process and results obtained in the construction of a business intelligence solution to support decision making in educational projects to vulnerable childhood population in the Colombian Caribbean region. The application context is the execution of a project named “Learning Circles", educational model operated by University of Magdalena since 2006, whose fundamental objective is to bring back to school to refugee and vulnerable children. To develop the solution we used as methodological guidelines Moss and Atre's model and the agile method named Extreme Programming. The main practical implication of this work is to show the usefulness of these technologies in different context to business.
